Review of Samsung UN46B7100
The design of the Samsung UN46B7100 is quite sleek. Being just 1.2? in depth, it looks fabulous from any angle. It has a gray border around the black bezel, which is again surrounded by a transparent edge.
If you are stingy about spending a few extra dollars for an exciting entertainment experience, then this HDTV is not for you. This offering from Samsung is quite costly but it provides many interesting features which are absent in the other TVs.
New for 2009, Samsung has added Yahoo widgets to its higher-end sets including the UNB7100 series. The system gathers Internet-powered information modules, called “snippets,” into a bar along the bottom of the screen, and each can be activated to reveal the full-fledged widget.
Other interactive features on this set abound. It can stream videos, photos, and music from DLNA-certified devices via the network connection, as well from its USB ports, which can connect to MP3 players, USB thumbdrives, and digital cameras.
The TV is very thin and more so towards the edges. It can be mounted on the walls also which makes it look like a pretty pictureEdge-lit LED backlighting heads the UNB7100′s feature set. Samsung calls these sets “LED TVs,” but it’s important to remember they’re actually otherwise normal liquid-crystal display TVs that use light-emitting diodes instead of the standard fluorescent backlights–check out the slideshow for more information.
The remote is quite handy with the absence of the scroll button. There is a projection at the rear to keep the remote steady while placed on the table surface. There is a specific ?Tools? button which lets you access the manual, picture modes, sound modes, picture-in-picture controls and sleep timer. The glossy nature of the remote causes it to get dirty quite easily. A duller look would have sufficed.
Samsung’s panoply of picture-affecting features starts with a 120Hz refresh rate and dejudder processing, the latter with more adjustments than we’ve seen on any such display so far. We also liked the myriad conventional picture adjustments, starting with four adjustable picture modes that are all independent per input. There are five color temperature presets that are augmented by the capability to adjust each via a custom white balance menu; three varieties of noise reduction, including an automatic setting; a film mode to engage 2:3 pull-down (it also works with 1080i sources); a seven-position gamma control that affects the TV’s progression from dark to light; a dynamic contrast control that adjusts the picture on the fly; a “black tone” control that affects shadow detail; and a color space control that lets you tweak the Samsung’s color gamut.
The UNB7100 series offers good connectivity, as long as your AV system doesn’t have many analog components. The highlight is four HDMI inputs, arranged vertically along the shallow connection bay on the back of the TV (note that fat cables might not fit the nearly flush sockets very well).
